Easter Cards

I wanted to make a couple of Easter cards for some special people and thought it would be a good idea to do it now, as time tends to creep up on us.

I started by spraying a sheet of white cardstock with gold paint, and then with gold glitter spray. This is an alternative to buying gold paper at the craft store. Both of these cards are essentially the same except for the Cross diecut.  The background is layered white onto the gold sprayed paper and embossed with Darice Curls EF. Sizzix oval dies frame the crosses, which are from the Spellbinders Cross 2 set. After layering the bases and the ovals and crosses, the whole piece was sprayed with silver glitter spray; my iPhone did not pick up the sparkle very well, but it does glimmer and shine. The rose is from Dienamics Hybrid Heritage Rose, and it is embellished with Glossy Accents. The four corners of the cards and the center of the roses are accented with gold half pearls.

I am entering this card in the following challenges ending:

Romans 10:9-10  If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.  NLT

Acts 13:38-39  "Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God--something the law of Moses could never do."  NLT

A simple prayer for salvation:  O, God! I know that I am a sinner!  I thank You that Jesus Christ, Your holy Son, was born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life here on earth, and died on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for my sin. He is no longer dead, but rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  I accept His atonement for every sin I have ever committed, and receive Your salvation. I put all of my trust in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and receive Him as Lord of my life from this moment on. Thank You, Father God, for this grace given to me!

2 Corinthians 5:17  This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!  NLT
